Trent Baalke has admitted that a long-term contract extension for Trevor Lawrence is among the Jacksonville Jaguars' plans this offseason.

"As far as Trevor and the long-term relationship with this team, there's no doubt in that," Baalke said. "We are going to get something done [at] the appropriate time."

The Jaguars went 9-8 and missed the playoffs this season after a hot start.

Lawrence had fewer passing yards (4,016) and touchdowns (21) and had more interceptions (14) than he did last season, something Baalke said is in part due to his injuries. The GM said Lawrence was able to learn from these struggles. 

"I think Trevor had another learning year, right? Like how we all do when we are a third-year guy in this league," Baalke said. "I think there are some areas where he made great strides in."

He continued, saying, "We have to do a better job of keeping [Lawrence] safe and protected. He has to do a better job of protecting himself. … You know when your quarterback has [four injuries] all in one year, that's alarming. So, we have to work to improve that."
